Panis, Nov, 30, 1866, ‘Tho ignorance in which we are studiously kept by the official organs of the French government relative to Mexi- can affairs leaves room and gives opporthnity for all sorts of speculations. Whether Muximilian has left Vera rovurned to Mexico—on his way to Southampton, {1X9 Seine, or to Trieste, in the Dandolo—whether he bas mdicated or still nominally wears his crown of cac- tos, we are blissfully ignorant. What we do know is that tbs yrench transports whichage to bring the French troops bad to France will not get away before the mid- dle of Decettmer; and what wo we inciined to believe is that there ig thorough understanding be- tween your government and thi, regarding the denoue- ‘ment, now preparing or already payed, of the grand Mex- fean farce. On Monday-morniny last, at half-past seven e’dock, the United States Miistor, Mr. Bigelow, re- Gsived the first sheet of a cypler despatch which came ‘across tho cable from the Stats Department, and the last shoot was not sent in till fouy o/clock on Tuesday morn- ‘ing, the whole despatch hariug required nearly twenty- ono hours in trausmission, In the afternoon of Tuesdty it is known that Mr. Big- elow had a long interview/Arith the Marquis de Moustier, ‘Minister of Foreign Affaits, and, singularly enough, the following day Merican/bonds went up at the Bourse from 1824, to 148.15, ander the effoct of a rumor that the United States government would guarantee their paymont. Mr. Bigelow, although a very amiable man, isan excessively dscreet minister, and is as silent as tho grave on the subject of the contents of the despatch, and well informed jersons, who trequentiy get posses- sion of much valua}le matter which leaks through the holes in the Foreiga office, are utterly ignorant of what fit ts all about, The|Moni!ewr cannot much longer keep ‘up this irritating, objtinate silence, and in the course of | day or two we shall undogbtedly have some official statement from the government. In the meantime dobody doubts that the Mexican “Empire” fh, to all iatents and purposes, one of the things that were; and telegrams from Vienna state that Maximilian has expressed his intention of being there by the second week of December. if he have any desire ever again to see the living face of the unfortunate Arobduchess, whom disappointed hope and blightod ambition have driven to madness, he has no time to spare, as the latest and most reliable reports affirm that sbe {s not only. no betier, but that symptoms of an ox- am . sipeas irs sapaning “a sets Tees cal” ‘Tae King of uma and his sai:e are mal a a 0, it thought, in whatever way he comes, will not pass tRrough France on his way thither. ‘The suit of the United states government against Arman fils for the recovery of a largo sum of money paid by the Confedorate agents upon four vessels, and about which I wrote you some time since, is in process compromised, Messrs, Arman Qs fuily ao- the claim of the government in principle, Giffor with the goverament azeats as to the amount. seems that upon their faiiure to deliver the vessels to Confederate agent, Captain Bullock, Arman fils retamned him 1,500,000 francs which he had paid them, and they now insist upon the deduction of and offer to pay the governmont the sum of 137,000 france. This, howover, the government agonts do not consider sufficient; and itis probable rather than come ® suit the Messrs Arman wil! pay more. The cele- lawyer, M. Berryer, bas been retained by the ent, and confidently expresses the opinion tuat can win the race, IT am informed that the Chamber of Commerce of Bordeayx bas received from the Minister o: Commerce, loulture aad Public Works in Paris a Sa oma e, but which has not yet been made public, in repiy to one which that body made to him some tito sinco upon the subject of seizures of Bordeaux wines in the United Large quantities of wine shipped from Bordeaux Davo been seized by the customs authorities at san Fran- ¢isoo and New York for alleged under vaiuation, and suits bave been commenced sgainst the consignees and agents there. Tho Chamber of Commerce of Bordcaux have mado a reprosonta- tion of their side of the case to the Minister, and invoked the interference of the French government in their bobalf, i is in reply to this that the Minister has gent them the document in question. Iam inelinod to believe that the government will take no action in the matior. The Chumpague merchants, under similar cir- 40, sent w deputation of thoir best Men, with a detatiod statement of their grievances, to M.
